Garfield Ridge Announces New Indoor Winter Market Series Starting December

By Socialhood News · Il/Chicago/Garfield Ridge · November 27, 2025

Residents of Garfield Ridge will soon have a new way to connect with neighbors and support local businesses as the Garfield Ridge Neighborhood Watch (GRNW) prepares to launch its first-ever Indoor Winter Market Series in early December.

The new community initiative, which builds on the neighborhood's successful summer farmers market that concluded in September, will feature local vendors, seasonal treats, and family-friendly activities at the Garfield Ridge Community Center. True to the GRNW's 17-year tradition of accessible programming, all events will be free of charge and open to the public, made possible through donations from Gold Sponsors including Ridge Funeral Home, Mike Riordan State Farm, All Exterior Contractors, and local elected officials.

Community members interested in participating as vendors or volunteers can find more information on the GRNW website. The winter market joins a robust calendar of holiday activities in Garfield Ridge, including the upcoming 10th Annual Tree Lighting ceremony on December 6th, providing multiple opportunities for residents to celebrate the season while supporting neighborhood businesses.
